Days went by after the freshman party, and Aiden found this Academy life not much different from his previous one, with a single exception: he was now ranked 2nd.
Over the next three months, many students challenged him, but he defeated them all—until Ramona came along. She seemed like a superior version of him, knowing everything about his moves and skills. For the past year, every time they fought, she defeated him.
Aiden stood in the long corridor, looking at the ranking list, and saw his name in the 2nd position. Unconsciously, he clenched his fists and then released them with a sigh.
"What the hell is with that girl?" Aiden mumbled to himself.
Every time he challenged her, she defeated him easily. Once, Aiden was so frustrated that he asked for a private match, where only the two of them would fight, and no one else would know the result or the way the duel went.
